Leatherjackets

[stonecold]

G'Day Peter...all reports suggest their current status offshore from Ballina as ...."THICK-PLAGUE"

[murf]

Hows the leatherjacket population going?

I hope to start skinning their jackets very soon.

Cheers, Peter

went to the Woolgoolga fishing club weigh in yesterday and most fisher persons had them and lost lots of gear, they were on the small side but they were by-catch

and congrats Muzz and family on the new baby

cheers Murf

Thanks Stonecold and Murf. Looks like I'll be in for a show then.

I reckon Muzz will be over the moon with the new baby.

sitting here atm trying to figure out a way of tying a paternoster rig with wire

cheers Murf

Murf have a go using some heavy single strand and some of those heavy 3way black swivevls. Painfully fiddly but mite do the trick 4u.

Honestly guys,

I just tie a simple knot, once around and through the hole, pull it tight with pliers.
Maybe crimp the end of the loop ready so you can poke it through the eye of the hook,
and that's it, nothing fancy.
Just remember that you will probably loose a few rigs to the mongerels swimming up and biting your line if it smells right.

The end of this week will probably be OK Peter, will just have to watch the weather and let you know. Will be taking at least 1 of my boys with us, just so we can make the most of them while they are here,
the 40 odd we killed a few weeks ago are already gone.....YUM

G'day onerabbit,

I'll bring another spare 30ft of wire with me , its 200lb test .047 diameter (Mason brand Soft Stainless Steel leader) Single Strand.

I think this will do the trick.

Keep me posted.

[murf]

top stuff I am ready with boat in tow for a M&G jacket session this year

cheers Murf

[onerabbit]

The whales are on their way up now, so it wont be long.

All we need to do is try to get some decent weather, has been pretty crap lately.

As soon as they are thick we will go & get a boat-full,
poor old Bondy has been chewing at the bit for ages......
will be great to have you up here Murf.
